The force of gravity acting on an object is the objects what?
All mass attracts all other mass, thats a fact. The force between two independent masses depends on the total mass and the distance between them. The "cause" of gravity is subject to great debate, even today.
The potential energy of an object depends on its?
... the masses of the bodies involved and the distance between them.
What is true about an object falling toward Earth?
Earth pulls on the object, and the object pulls on Earth
What are mass and weight linked by?
Weight = Mass x g g = acceleration due to gravity. (g ~= 9.8 m/s2 Weight is a Force and is calculated in newtons(N) or dynes. Mass is calculated in kilograms(kg).
What is the pull of gravity on a camera?
the pull of gravity on a camera is its weight
Will acceleration due to gravity change the weight of an object?
Yes. As acceleration due to gravity increases so does the object's weight. The reverse is true when gravity decreases. Mass, however, does NOT change with gravity.
A measure of the force of gravity on an object?
Weight The force of gravity on an object is its weight. If we know the mass of the object, and the acceleration due to gravity we can calculate the weight of an object as follows weight= mass x acceleration due to gravity W=mg Units : newtons (because weight is a force) Example: Given an object on the surface of the earth Mass of the object=1 kg acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is approximately 9.8m/s2 -->W=mg=1x9.8=9.8 newtons
The weight of an object varies with the force with which gravity pulls on it?
Weight of an object depends on the objects mass and the acceleration due to gravity... Weight=mxg where m = mass g=acceleration due to gravity on earth, acceleration due to gravity = approx 9.81m/s2
The downward pull on an object due to gravity?
This is weight.
When gravity acts on the mas of an object it causes the object to have what?
An object with mass that is suspended in a gravitational field will have what we call weight. Weight is the term we apply to the force on that object due to gravity.
What does weight mean in science terms?
In science, the weight of an object is the force on the object due to gravity.
Will acceleration due to gravity affect the weight of an object?
Yes. The weight of an object on the earth in Newtons is its mass in kilograms times the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8m/s2. W = mg
What is the weight if the object has 166.2 mass?
Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity mass has to be in kg and acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2
Does mass equal half the weight of an object?
No. Mass and weight are two separate but related properties. Mass is the amount of matter within object. Weight is the amount of force an object experiences due to gravity. So and object's mass depends on the mass of the object and the strength of gravity where it is. Weight= mass x gravity.
What's the effect gravity has on weight and mass of an object?
More gravity = more weight. Gravity will hardly change the mass of an object (except for effects due to the Theory of Relativity, which are usually insignificant).
What is mg in physic?
m is the mass of an object. g is acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.81m/s^2. So mg is mass x acceleration due to gravity. It equals the weight of an object. Typically mass is measured in grams and acceleration due to gravity is in meters per second squared, giving the weight in Newtons.
What is the weight of a 100kg object if the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8?
The weight of a 100 kg object is 100 kg. Kilograms are a unit of weight.
